Tammy Baldwin Responds To Republicans Calling Contraception Act ‘A Messaging Vote’ For Democrats

Published | Video Starts at 02:20

Sadly, I have little or no faith that this activist, extremist Supreme Court is done with this mission. They invited people to challenge the law that upholds marriage equality. So I led a charge to protect same sex and interracial couples and earn bipartisan support for my Respect for Marriage act, which was signed into law. Now it's time that we do the exact same thing to protect contraception. Because I will not just sit around waiting for the day that this Supreme Court takes away another one of our rights and freedoms. (02:20–02:31)
